Oh, wow. I honestly didn't know how this would work, especially as something long-term, but you did a really awesome job with these girls. I love the way you wrote Jo, how she's rough around the edges but that small part of her is still a bit of a romantic, thinking things with Bela could have been different. I love the hints at Bela's humanity and how pretty and quiet this is. And oh, man, the parallels with Dean kind of made me tear up a little. I DON'T EVEN KNOW. Great job!

OMG, THANK SO MUCH! I love this comment so much, IT MAKES ME INCOHERENT WITH JOY! I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much and that it worked for you even if it seemed really improbable. I LIVE FOR IMPROBABLE PAIRINGS! ♥

Eek! So I didn't really get the chance to tell you this after I sent you my beta, but I love this so much. Your dialogue is perfect. And the dynamic between the two woman is fascinating; you've really captured the power struggle as well as the sense that- very, very slowly- they are beginning to kind of sort of maybe like and trust each other.

I also really like Rufus and Jo's relationship. It made me very happy and flaily. But my favorite part is Jo deciding to take care of Bela's body. I like it because I like seeing how the little things (read: non-Winchester related things) that get ignored by canon play out.

And it's such a brutal, poignant image that says a lot about who Jo is as a person.

Also, the sex? Is hot.

*flails all over you*

*FLAILS ALL OVER YOU AND THIS COMMENT*

I am so fucking glad you liked this, babe! I'M SO PLEASED THE CHARACTERIZATION WORKED WELL! Power struggle with very tentative like/trust was what I was aiming for!

YAY, I'M GLAD YOU LIKED RUFUS & JO'S RELATIONSHIP! I wanted to like, have something building up to them working together in 5.02!

What you said about Jo taking care of Bela's body? IT MADE MY SOUL WARM. THANK YOU, BABE.

This was so excellent bb. Gosh. The hate sex, the way Jo is sort of bent out of shape post-Bela's death because she didn't know anything about her...mmm. Thank you. AND THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN OUR EXCHANGE. <3 YOU GODDESS YOU.
